Looking at getting a sectional snow plow and I was wondering what everyone uses. Looked at an 8 footer and they just seem small. Then again I have heard people say a 10 footer is to big? Any input?

If you have a snow tire on your loader I wouldn't hesitate to put a 10' on it. I have a 10.5' Avalanche that I run on either a 75XT or 435 and the only time I've had an issue was last year when we had the 14" snowfall, and it just needed the passes to be shorter was all or it would fill up too fast and you couldnt push it all.

I run a 10' Arctic Sectional plow on my S250 with now problems, first season with stock tires, did ok but was more problematic in heavy wet snow on long runs, next season with my version of Wolf paws snow tires and WOW now I can really move snow! I can't say enough good about my Sectional plows, I love it on my Bobcat, my Case loader and I just bought a new 244 J John Deer Loader and purchased a 12' Sectional plow for it. If you put a 10' Sectional plow on your S250 you won't be disappointed, I cant say how other pushers of equal size will work but after three years with now problems and over 500 hours on my sectional plow and I'm just now replacing the cutting edges and feet I can't complain! heres some pics

Do you find a significant price difference between the 8 and 10' plows? Maybe that can help make your decision as it seems you could go either way. I personally would go with a 8', simply for storage reasons, wet snow, price, and I always like to buy a smaller machine for great price when someone wants to get a bigger one, and then you need the 8'. It is alsoeasier to transport a 8' if you need to trailer the machine to a site.
